February's Bright Idea

Translation practice

Keep it simple! Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective!

Use PowerPoint to practise translating into or out of the target language as a class. Break a text down into chunks. Use 'insert text' and 'animation' to allow a step-by-step translation discussion as a class.

My classes have really enjoyed this activity, as simple as it is. Some have even asked if they can do more. Who am I to argue? :-)
